Galatasaray makes €25 million offer for Dibu Martínez and hopes to announce him for the 2025/26 season
Galatasaray has submitted an official offer for Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano “Dibu” Martínez and expects to finalize the deal during the Turkish transfer window, which remains open until September 12.
Martínez Still Wants to Leave Aston Villa
The 2022 World Cup champion has been vocal about his wish to leave Aston Villa this summer. Despite initial interest from Manchester United, talks with his agents stalled, leaving the 32-year-old in Birmingham at the close of the Premier League transfer window.
Now, Turkey presents one of the few remaining escape routes, and Galatasaray is determined to seize the opportunity.
